That reminds me of a Lily Tomlin joke: “The other day I bought a wastebasket and brought it home in a paper bag. Then I crumpled up the paper bag and put it in the wastebasket.” A lot of her stand-up act was just making little ironic observations like that.
Trash bags are one product that you buy just to throw away

They also are used to ball up you clothing to toss in the car when you move…then in the trash can to then throw out. Yeah, you win this one.

Not ‘just’ throw away. They provide a very nice convenience of bundling a bunch of trash together and make it all easier to transport to the bin.

Children are just things you make that will eventually die, some ending up killing themselves because of you constantly telling them how much a disappointment they are, because you are also fucked up from your parent’s doing the same thing.
And then we’re extinct.
Happily ever after.
